The condition of an enlightened mind is a surrendered heart.

Alan Redpath

For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.

Psalm 37:9
The New International Version

Dear God, I’d like to make a suggestion, if that’s okay.  Why don’t you have fewer religions so people would get along better?  We just read about the Crusades a long time ago.

I have only missed my morning watch one or twice this term.  I can easily believe that it is next in importance to accepting Christ.  For I know that when I don’t wait upon God in prayer and Bible study, things go wrong.

William Borden

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 12:21
The New King James Version

A dear old friend of mine used to say with the truest Christian charity, when he heard any one being loudly condemned for some fault:  “Ah!  Well, yes, it seems very bad to me, because it is not my way of sinning!”

Millions of people in our culture make decisions for Christ, but there is a dreadful attrition rate.  In our kind of culture anything, even news about God, can be sold if it is packaged freshly; but when it loses its novelty, it goes on the garbage heap.  There is a great market for religious experience in our world; there is little enthusiasm for the patient acquisition of virtue, little inclination to sign up for a long apprenticeship.

Eugene Peterson

No ill befalls the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble.

Proverbs 12:21
The English Standard Version

Once while Francis of Assisi was hoeing his garden, he was asked, “What would you do if you were suddenly to learn that you were to die at sunset today?”  He replied, “I would finish hoeing my garden.”

The glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness.

Is any one among you suffering?  Let him pray.  Is any cheerful?  Let him sing praise.

A God you understood would be less than yourself.

How few of us could honestly crystallize the aims that guide our life into any single sentence?  We try the impossible feat of riding on two horses at once.  We resolve and retract, and hesitate and compromise.  The ship heads now one way and now another, and that not because we are wisely tacking—that is to say, seeking to reach one point by widely varying courses—but because our hand is so weak on the helm that we drift wherever the wash of the waves and the buffets of the wind carry us.

Alexander MacLaren

The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Psalm 18:2
The Revised Standard Version

It is not fitting, when one is in God’s service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look.

Francis of Assisi

In the midst of life we are in death.

Book of Common Prayer

But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.

Acts 20:24
The New Living Translation

The best place any Christian can ever be in is to be totally destitute and totally dependent upon God, and know it.

The key to solving conflict is found in affirming God’s will.  When we do this, our desires become God’s desires, and then His power becomes our power.

George Sweeting

So He said, “Come.”  And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.  But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”  And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”  And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

Matthew 14:29-32
The New King James Version

In making our decisions, we must use the brains that God has given us.  But we must also use our hearts which He also gave us.

If I see aright, the cross of popular evangelicalism is not the cross of the New Testament.  It is, rather, a new bright ornament upon the bosom of a self-assured and carnal Christianity.  The old cross slew men, the new cross entertains them.  The old cross condemned; the new cross amuses.  The old cross destroyed confidence in the flesh; the new cross encourages it.

A. W. Tozer

Is anyone among you in trouble?  Let them pray.  Is anyone happy?  Let them sing songs of praise.  Is anyone among you sick?  Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord.  And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up.  If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.  Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.  The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

James 5:13-16
The New International Version

Make me a captive, Lord, then I shall be truly free.

Augustine

God was not changed, for He had always loved the world; nor was the world changed, for it continued in sinful rebellion against God.  But by the death of Christ the relationship between God and the world was changed.

C. I. Scofield

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

Psalm 5:11
The King James Version

Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won’t have to hunt for happiness.

William E. Gladstone
